There is no doubt we are living in challenging times. We are surrounded, inundated with news that quite literally takes our breath away. And it should. Only this week we have been shocked and appalled to learn of another chemical gas attack in Syria. We couldn't turn away from the devastating photos of a heartbroken father cradling his beautiful, deceased twin daughters. The latest victims in a tragic, brutal and seemingly endless war. And we shouldn't turn away. We need to be aware. We should raise our voices and advocate for those without voices. Without homes. Without families.

But while wars seem to wage everywhere it is also of huge importance - now more than ever - the focus on the good news stories and celebrate humanity's triumphs. Because they are there! Amidst the tragedy and the brutality there is a body of amazing humans who quietly but tirelessly go about trying to make a difference in this crazy world. And the good news is - they are making a difference.
